(April year 2)
She must have gotten on the wrong caravan... well, that's a lie. She ~did~ get on this caravan on purpose, but she was regretting it. Why was she here? There were so many people- second crossing was nothing compared to this- it was terrifying! The camps stretched across the hills felt so intimidating- why did she come? Why? She swallowed and watched as they unloaded the caravan. She knew why. To find Vasily. But oh stars this was a bad idea. A familiar panic began to set in. Last time she felt like this she'd ended up with a Vasily. Heh.. maybe it would work again somehow... of course it wouldn't. She frowned. It was a big gather... someone has to have seen him right..? There's a lot of guns here... he likes those. Maybe? She shook her head. It seemed useless but she had to try. When had she lost him? She couldn't recall most of the boat trip... It seemed... fuzzy. Was he on the boat? He had to have been... right? Whatever the gravemind had done to her head was still lingering, though she did have her memory back, it was less of a... gap now, as it was a haze. She had a suspicion that her recent memory was being toyed with. Hopefully it would soon pass.

"Hedge vil fund red star people."
Stroje was upset that hedge wouldn't hear her, but she did know what hedge was searching for. So she searched the meet for more like her (slightly crazy in her opinion) counterpart's weird friends. It was certainly an eventful meet. So many people the likes of which she had never seen. One female had purple veins all over her and felt not even a chill despite her meagre attire. An... unborn? Was that the name? It sounds right. Hedge found out about her continued existence, she wasn't pleased as Stroje thought she would be.. the younger tried to help but Hedge only got angry... called her a parasite. She isn't a parasite- she helps! She looked for these star bearers for hedge, but not many red star people were found though she did manage to reach out to hedge through the one that she did meet. They seemed to have an understanding now. Maybe things were turning around.
